Hi, Here is a webrev of the first cut of the UpdateManager for OpenSolaris. Its using Brock's new API, including Michal's ProgressTracker changes. It will need refreshed when these other patches land in the gate.
http://cr.opensolaris.org/~jmr/updatemanager_v2_Oct03/ It consists of: - service svc:/application/pkg/update, responsible for adding a cron job entry to launch update-refresh.sh periodically (as already discussed on the list, workaround as there is no cron job action in IPS) - update-refresh.sh: runs pkg refresh as determined by the cron job entry - updatemanagernotifier: a desktop startup application that checks for updates periodically (Daily, Weekly, Monthly) and notifies user in the notification panel by displaying an update available icon. Clicking on the notification icon launches updatemanager - updatemanager: updatemanager GUI There is some pylint work to do, a few changes in updatemanagernotifier and desktop icon to be added for updatemanager, but this will let those interested have a look. When built SUNWipkg-um is the generated package. To get updatemanagernotifier running requires a reboot. You also need to have SUNWpython-notify installed (coming into b99). We are targeting this for the 2008.11 release. JR _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
